The seven people injured in Sunday’s series of shootings in Toronto are now out of danger.
Among the victims are a group of people participating in a rally in a parking lot in the Scarborough neighborhood, Toronto police said in a press briefing on Monday.
In this shooting, which occurred around 8 p.m., after three other shootings, three men and a woman were injured, but they are out of danger after being transferred to a hospital.
Previously, a man was killed by multiple gunshots at the intersection of Caledonia Road and Lawrence Avenue West around 4:25 p.m. fire, but was saved.
In the first shooting, two teenagers aged 15 and 17 were hit by several projectiles from a firearm on Sunday afternoon. They are still in hospital, but their state of health is no longer a cause for concern.
A total of four men, two teenagers and a woman are still in hospital with serious but not life-threatening injuries, according to Steve Watts of the Toronto police, quoted by CTV News.
“I don’t think the public is in any danger from these events,” Watts said, adding police are trying to establish a link between the four events that rocked the Canadian metropolis.
Toronto Mayor John Tory said the string of shootings in which eight people were shot and injured in the space of eight hours, including one confirmed homicide, was “extremely disturbing.”
